Cycle

Dance and performance

Destination: Varde Sædding Beach - Esbjerg and Tønder 

The general source of inspiration for all the works under the dance/performance suite ”Cycle”, have their origin in this excerpt of Inger Christensen’s work ”The Valley of the Butterfly – a requiem”, Brøndums Forlag, 1991
…”from earth, being the middle of the sea and the sky,
two people, who left each other
a life, which does not die as nothing.”

Sædding beach - Esbjerg

 

"Three white painted women"

Sensual pictures and fleshly attractive movements are put into new context in order to change and accumulate new meaning. The work is created in cooperation between the Danish and Greek art scene.

 

 


"Bach - do you say?"

 

 

 

Material conceals the utility, the insubstantial create true essence.
(Lao Tseu)


Rhythm makes vibrate the whole world, so much it is true that rhythm is in the birth of any life. Every living being grows and develops by rhythmic spaces, and in a rhythm still agitate, under the effect of the wind, smoke, forest, fields of wheat or dunes of sand.
Never deep signification, force of rhythm, were expressed with so much lucidity as in music and in dance. Are numerous possibilities of arresting the rhythmic stocks are given in dance by life and music.
The spaces between the dancers structure  the choreographic lines and in the same way the vocabulary, the punctuation's in units of variable time more or less accentuated.

”The kiss”

 


Two mouths meet in a breath and hold each other with a kiss.
Two bodies circle around each other with the kiss as their epicenter in ancient communication.

”The kiss” is nature and culture with stage art as mode of expression.

"The Air"

 

The air is invisible. Without air it is impossible for us to stay alive - so we know, there is air.

It is like wind.

Wind, we cannot see, but we simply know it is windy, when we feel it and by watching things move.
